SAY NO TO NAKEDNESS!!!!! (My response to Beyonce's "Say Yes" to Jesus) 

Did you know that saying NO TO NAKEDNESS in public is saying YES to Jesus and it's saying yes to being a true lady of the Lord?

Of course you knew that! We all know it. But we need to say it and SAY IT LOUD AND AGAIN, SAY IT LOUDER!

When it comes time to go out and put on our Sunday best or our Friday fun or whatever, every lady knows how EASY it is to let that little bit of cleavage slide. It's easy to show a little of anything. Especially if you are a person who suffers and needs the Lord to heal your possibly not-so-great confidence levels.

Is it beneficial to show some and share some flesh? Is it helping you be a light? Is it allowing someone else's husband to focus on the Lord and on his own wife?  Is it attracting "friends" for the right reasons? Of course not.

The enemy seeks to DEVOUR like a roaring lion, sometimes a beautiful attractive roaring lion. This concept of the roaring Lion is remiscent of Katy Perry's ROAR song and lifestyle as well. This girl is the daughter of a preacher and many of the lyrics to some of her songs are totally uplifting- certainly NOT ALL of them.

So why couldnt Katy Perry just sing her awesome love songs & redeeming inspirational pop music? WHY DIDNT SHE SAY NO TO NAKEDNESS and YES to her true self as a lady belonging to the Lord?

PRESSURE....Women feel very real pressure from other girls. And FALSE APPROVAL is often sought - the need to be approved of so we can feel like a "Natural Woman!" Meanwhile, we are naturally and beautifully and awesome-ly made WITHOUT giving that peek-a boo or full on show! (Book of Psalms 145:13)


So this where I leave you, single ladies? Moms? Fathers of precious daughters? The scripture reminds us we are totally dependent upon and need to call upon the Ruach Ha Kodesh, the Holy Spirit of God. We need Him to fill us with (help us to give others) the approval we so desire sometimes. We need Him to keep us and our daughters from the lie that we cannot be ladies and keep our clothes on. The devil is a liar.

1. WAGE WAR!!!!! against your flesh by reading a scripture a day to keep the devil away!
"Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul." Book of 1 Peter 2:11 ESV version)


2. TAKE UP YOUR POWER- Since Resurrection Sunday is arriving next week, it is the perfect time to remember and embrace that the same power that raised Messiah from the dead, also lives in YOU (and in us!) Halleluyah!

"And if the Ruach of the One who raised Yeshua from the dead dwells in you, the One who raised Messiah Yeshua from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Ruach who dwells in you.

So then, brothers and sisters, we do not owe anything to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
For if you live according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Ruach you put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live" (Book of Romans chapter 8, Jewish Tree of Life - TLV Version from Bible.com)
